I've just called Sicurez and they said Viofo A129 2-Ch is back in stock right now.
But you need to make appointment first if you require installation.

They are quite fast in picking-up the phone but not so when replying to email query or FB messenger.

Indeed.
Not many tint shops want to give warranty for their tint if they installed on top of existing tint from different shop

If your SA/branch personally drive the car from Bermaz Pre-Deliver Inspection Center, eg. Bermaz Padang Jawa in Klang Valley, the mileage varies according to the distance from the Inspection Center to the branches.
But if the car is delivered by trailer from the Inspection Center to the branches, the mileage will be much lower. But branches will only collect the cars by trailer if there are about 5-6 cars to be delivered to their branches.

Above s what my SA told me.
The original mileage when he collected my car from Padang Jawa Inspection Centre was 9km, but as he drove the car to Bermaz Glenmarie, the mileage was more than that when I collected the car

I believed only Bermaz branches have free car wash while for dealers, up to them to decide whether to charge or not.
I didn't know to to-up to full syn is that expensive.

Bermaz SC definitley won't allow that as they will only use the available Shell full syn oil and charge you extra for that.
Not sure about dealers SC

I've heard from other members that they will just use the semi-syn oil at SC during servicing and after that they will go to outside workshop, drain this oil and replace them with their choice of engine oil

If dealers, you can try to squeeze for full tank, SmartTag, free tinting or coating, dash cam, etc.
Depends on your bargaining power and how generous is your SA.

If Bermaz branch, tan ku ku lah!

Same here.
DCB and silver, followed by SRC.
I'm driving DCB btw

My logic is that, for DCB you don't have to pay premium but still get the crystal effect.
For silver, it is the easiest colour to maintain for CX-5.
For SRC, it's the signature colour of CX-5

The feature is still not supported.
Have to top-up manually for your TnG card

I was told by Sidek MCCM who provides reflash ECU service to members that there's a speed cut of 206km/h for stock car.
On my stock 2018 2.2D Fwd, managed to hit around that speed on a quiet Latar highway.

Sidek's 1st Gen CX-5 ever hit > 220km/h from the photo he shares in whatsapp group.
To be able to achieve close to 260 km/h, maybe on dyno wheel only instead of real road test

Not necessary as CX-5 is not considered as "hot cars".
However, for peace of mind, good to have pedal lock especially if you park you car at secluded place.

Else, steering lock is quite a good visual deterrent too and the cost of ownership is much lower compared to pedal lock.

AFAIK, only 2.2D gets Helix Ultra for free.
2.0 and 2.5 need to top-up.
That’s for Bermaz SC though, not sure for dealers.

Just did 30k servicing at Bermaz Glenmarie for my 2.2D yesterday noon.
Really slow turnaround time at this SC. Appointment at 2:30 and only collected my ride at 6:30.
And I still need to come again next month to replace the lower arm bush

Mine about a year old already. Collected mine a week before 2018 CNY.
Faulty lower arm bush, which is a common issue with both version of CX-5. Mine happened only recently but there are few users who encountered this problem within 3 months of ownership.
Luckily it is under warranty but they did not have time to replace it during normal servicing so they fixed a new appointment after CNY to have the bush replace.

Mine could have happened earlier but only recently the "ngek ngek" sound is pretty obvious, especially when driving in the wet.

Can we know which SC allows you to bring your own engine oil?
Thanks

I did install paddle shifter and it is indeed plug and play, whether genuine Mazda parts or OEM, that's another story.
You can always check with your SC if they can install paddle shift and not voiding the car's warranty.
Bermaz SC (Glenmarie for instance) will take note and photograph all the mods done to your car, so obvious mods like additional signal indicator, etc will surely be in the record.

Dashcam powered directly from fusebox using hardwire kit is another mods that the SC can be picky too.
There are members who are willing to install RM1-2k external battery pack to power their dashcam during parking mode as they don't want to take risk with the warranty claim.

Thinkware, Blackvue and iRoad have their own proprietary battery pack for their dashcams

Good to know that.
You install full range of Thinkware products bro, or only F200?

I saw an FB post of a new CX-5 installed with Blackvue DVR and battery pack as the owner doesn't want to use the hardwire kit to fusebox for warranty reason.

My 1-yr old 2.2D doesn't come with power tailgate, so can't help you there.
As for the rear centre seat, sometimes it can be hard to close back too as it is connected to the left rear seat.
I noticed it is not as easy as the left and right seats

Brembo brake pads are just brake pads, like OEM or 3-rd party brake pads.
But if Brembo brake kits (with slotted rotor, pads, calipher, hose, etc) which cost 5-figures, then it's a different story

Hopefully it is just clerical error.
Mine have been Helix Ultra all this while when servicing my 2.2D at Bermaz Glenmarie

Have to walk-in as need to pay deposit (at least RM500) to secure your booking.
Once stock is available, SC will call you to fix date of installation.

This is what my SA at Bermaz Glenmarie told me.
I believed other SC also provide the installation, but you have to inquire which SC can do
